Psalms 18
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
1(18-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; (18-2) And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
1I KIN pok o n komui Mai n , ai kel.
2(18-3) The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
2Ieowa ai paip, ai kel, ai jaundor, ai Kot, ai paipalap, me i kin liki, pere pa i, menkamaur pa i o jile pa i!
3(18-4) Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
3I kin n idi n id o n Ieowa, me kapi n en ko o n , o i pan dorela ja n ai imwintiti kan.
4(18-5) The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
4I lodi o n er jal en mela kan, o pilap en Pileam akan kamajak ia er.
5(18-6) The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me.
5Jal en wajan mela kol ia dier, o jal en mela kaloe ia dier.
6(18-7) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
6Ni ai majak i likwir o n Ieowa o weriwer o n ai Kot; I ap kotin ereki n il ai ja n nan tanpaj a, o ai likwir lel o n karo n a kan.
7(18-8) Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
7Jappa rerer o mokidedar, o pajon en nana kan ititekok o rerer, ni a kotin o n io n idar.
8(18-9) Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
8Atiniai koda ja n nan jila n i, o kijiniai kelail ja n nan au a, ap kareda liol.
9(18-10) He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
9O a kotikidier nanla n o kotidido, o rotorot impan aluwilu a kan.
10(18-11) And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
10O a kotikot pon Kerup amen o kotin pirwei, o a kotin dake pa en a n .
11(18-12) He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
11Tanpaj a im pwal iei rotorot, o katau laud, o tapok rotorot, kapil pena i.
12(18-13) At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
12Li n an me mi mo a, kamueit paja n tapok kan ian akel o liol.
13(18-14) The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
13O Ieowa kotin wiadar nanjapwe nanla n , o me Lapalapia kotin poronelar kapit i ia n akel o liol.
14(18-15) And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
14A kotin kajik wei japwilim a kana n en kajik katieu, o kotin kamueit irail paja n . A kotin wiadar liol toto o kamajak irail adar.
15(18-16) And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
15Al en pil akan ap janjaladar, o pajon en jappa weiweidar ki ar o n io n Mai n , mon a n en jila n omui.
16(18-17) He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
16A kotikidier lim a ja n nan waja ileile, a kotin kol ia di o kotin api ia dar ja n nan pil kalaimun akan.
17(18-18) He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
17A kotin dore ia la ja n ai imwintiti kelail akan, ja n ir, me kailo n kin ia, ir me i jota itar o n .
18(18-19) They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
18Irail kaloe ia dier ni ai ran apwal, a Ieowa kotin wialar jauaj pa i.
19(18-20) He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
19O a kotin kalua ia wajan jaladok, a kotin kamaio ia da, aki a kotin kupukupura ia.
20(18-21) The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
20Ieowa kin kotin jauaja ia duen ai pu n , a kotin kati n i o n ia duen makelekel en pa i kan.
21(18-22) For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21Pwe i kin weweid nani al en Ieowa, o i jota kin katiwo o n ai Kot.
22(18-23) For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
22Pwe a majan akan mi mo i, o i jota pan kaje ja n ia a kujoned akan.
23(18-24) And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
23Pwe n ai unjokalar mon jila n i o juedeki ai japu n .
24(18-25) Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
24O Ieowa kotin katini o n ia duen ai pu n , o duen makelekel en pa i kan mon jila n i.
25(18-26) With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
25Komui me kala n an o n me mau kan, o lelapok o n me lelapok kan,
26(18-27) With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
26O makelekel ren me makelekel akan, o japu n ren me japu n kan.
27(18-28) For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
27Pwe kom kin kotin dorela aramaj luet akan, ap kadukiedi maj en me aklapalap akan.
28(18-29) For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
28Pwe kom kin kotin kamaraini ai lamp, Ieowa ai Kot kin kamaraini ai rotorot.
29(18-30) For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
29Pwe ni ai ia n komui i kak kaloedi karij en jaunpei kan, o ni ai ia n ai Kot, i kak lujwei pon kel takai.
30(18-31) As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
30AI en Kot me unjokala; majan en Ieowa me makelekel. I pere pan karoj, me liki i.
31(18-32) For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
31Pwe ia amen Kot impan Ieowa, de ia paip eu impan atail Kot?
32(18-33) The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
32lei Kot, me kotin aude kin ia manaman, o kaunjokala al ai.
33(18-34) Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
33A kin kotin wiai o n na i kan dueta na en tia, o kotin kajapwil ia da n waja ileile.
34(18-35) Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
34A kotin padaki o n pa i kan tiak en mauin o, pwen kak on kaonopada kaiik katieu mata.
35(18-36) Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
35Kom kotiki o n ia pere pan maur omui, o lim omui pali maun kama n a ia da, o omui opampap me kajapwil ia da.
36(18-37) Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
36Kom kotin kaonopadar al, me i pan weweid ia, pwe nil i kan ender krijedi.
37(18-38) I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
37I pan ta n wo n ai imwintiti kan o kono irail edi, o i jota pan puredo, lao karoj lodier.
38(18-39) I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
38I pan kamor irail paja n , re jota pan kak palian ia, o re pan pupedi o n pan na i kan.
39(18-40) For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
39Kom kak kamana kin ia omui manaman o n ni pei; Kom kak kajedi o n pan na i kan karoj me palian ia.
40(18-41) Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
40Kom kin kotin kaloedi o n ia ai imwintiti kan, pwen kawela, me kailo n kin ia.
41(18-42) They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
41Re kin likelikwir, a jota jauaj parail ren Ieowa, a jota kotin jape n ir.
42(18-43) Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
42I pan juk irail paja n dueta pwel par nan kijinia n ; i pan kaje ir ala dueta pwel jamin ja n nani al o.
43(18-44) Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
43Kom kin kotin dore ia ja n ren akamai en aramaj, o kom kotin kajapwil ia da n men liki kan; o wei eu me i jaja kin upa o n ia.
44(18-45) As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
44Ni ar ro n er, re peiki o n ia er, o nain men wai kan peikio n ia ni li n kapi n .
45(18-46) The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
45Nain men wai kan poridier o rerer o pwarado ja n nan ar im kalaimun akan.
46(18-47) The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
46Ieowa kotin ieiaj; kapi n o n ai paipalap; o kapi n o n Kot ai jaundor.
47(18-48) Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
47Kot me kotin depuk o n ai imwintiti kan, o a kotin kaloedi o n ia ai imwintiti kan;
48(18-49) He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
48Kom kotin dore ia la ja n ai imwintiti kan, o kom kotin kajapwil ia da n ir, me palian ia. Kom kin kotin jauaja ia o n me, morjued o n ia.
49(18-50) Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
49I me i men danke komui, Mai n Ieowa, nan pu n en men liki kan o kauleki duen mar Omui,
50(18-51) Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
50Komui me kotin kamaurada melel japwilim a nanmarki o a kotin jauaja mau japwilim a Dawid keiedier o kadaudok a kokolata.
